A SUNDAY VISIT TO HURRICANE SHOALS 7 AN INTERESTING OCCASION. Desiring to be present at the Baptismal Ceremony announced to take place at Hur ricane Shoals last Sunday, nine A. M. found us (accompanied by our right bower” and young fellow-craftsman, R, S. M.) on the highway to Dry Pond—having, by some “ irrepressible conflict” in our mind, been led to believe there was to be service in the fore noon at that church. Becoming convinced, however, in due time, of our error, we contin ued our journey to the Shoals, where we ar rived in good season—safe and sound. As several hours would elapse ere the time appointed for the baptism, the question then uppermost was, “What to do?” in the inte rim. This matter was soon decided—we would look around, Sunday as it was, and see all we could of this beautiful and magni ficent water-power, as well as take notice of the improvements made and in progress. First, we noted that the mill-house had been the recipient of various improvements—new windows, new sash, &c. Next we find anew shingle machine, “ equipped and ready for inspection” ; as a matter of course it was not in operation. In close proximity is one of the largest and most powerfully “ rigged up” circular saws for lumber-sawing, that has ever come under our observation. A little below this anew building is in course of erection, in which has already been placed a (Winship) cotton-gin and screw; and from indications “ round about,” these have have already seen service, though the machinery seems to have been very recently placed in position. The reader will understand very readily, it is presumed, that all these different machines as well as the most excellent corn and flour mill, are propelled by the water-power ema nating from one main race, and applied to each in succession by the usual manipulation of shafting, wheels, belts, &c. Curiosity being somewhat satisfied on all the above points, it then occurred to us that we would like to see the enterprising “ head” of all this valuable machinery and water power; we therefore “hied” us on to the comfortable cottage of Mr. A. L. Shelor, where we were warmly and cordially received by that gentleman and his good-natured and handsome bevy of little ones. Mrs. S., we were sorry to learn, was confined to her room by indisposition—where she has been since about August last. Here too, we mot and was introduced (a second time) to Dr. Young, of Carnesville, who we found to be like all, or at least most of his profession, a highly intelligent and extremely sociable gentle man. In company with Messrs. Shelor and Young, we then took a “ stroll” over to the old Iron Works—or as it used to be sarcas tically defined, the “ old bomb-proof.” And while we walked over the remnants of ore, the scraps of iron and decayed timbers, and thought of the time and labor thrown away, we could not refrain from remarking, inward ly, “and this is another sad relic to remind us of those dark days when the eleven South ern States grappled for four years in a hand to-hand combat with the world ! while, subsequently, it took but a few weeks or months to end a similar conflict between two of the most powerful nations on the habitable globe—France and Germany—and which resulted so disastrously to the former.” But time flies, and we must hasten through our journey and story lest we weary the read er. In the vicinity of these ruins are also to be seen the memento's of more ancient times, 1812; for here, we were told, there were iron works at that distant da}'. Be this as it may, there is ample evidence that at some time in the long “ gone by” there was some thing of the kind in vogue at this place. Soon we are again seated in the cottage of friend Shelor, and in a few minutes a most pleasant and agreeble “chat” with Dr. Y. is brought to an abrupt termination by the an nouncement to make ready for dinner. * * Dinner over, brings us to two o’clock, the time appointed for the baptismal ceremony. The crowd, which has been gathering for the last hour or so, is quite respectable in num ber ; and as we walk down the road towards the “ shoals,” we meet several old friends and acquaintances; on a little farther—and we meet the minister, Rev. W. A. Farris, who is to officiate on the occasion. Preliminaries are soon arranged ; the good brother goes in and tries the depth of the water—satisfies himself and returns; the candidates take their places on the margin of the stream ; the familiar hymn, “A charge to keep I have,” is read, and two verses lined and sung ; pray er is then offered, petitioning the Great. Head of the Church to sanctify and solemnize the occasion and its surroundings to the good of the congregation, and especially to those who are so soon to take upon themselves the re sponsibilities and assume the prerogatives of the followers of the Most Higtf. Prayer ended, the candidates, Mr. James Bailey and his wife Elizabeth, and Miss Dunahoo, daughter of Mr. J. H. Dunahoo, are, one af ter the other, taken into the stream and bap tized by immersion—the congregation, mean while, singing an appropriate lmnn. The service throughout, was solemn find impres sive, and the best order preserved by those present. An announcement was made that there would be services at “Wilson’s church” im mediately after the baptismal ceremony, at which time the candidates would be received into “full fellowship.” It was, however, subsequently decided, on account of the late ness of the hour, to have preaching at the “shoals” ; and it would have been a plea sure to the writer to have remained to the conclusion of the day’s services, but our “ chronometer” warned us of the flight of time, so making ready, we were soon on the road to Jefferson, where we arrived a littje after five P. M., well satisfied with our frip, and feeling under many obligations to those who had contributed so much to make our visit pleasant and agreeable. This was our first trip to that section of the county; and on the different roads we traveled, coming and going, we noticed many homesteads and settlements denoting thrift and prosperity; while, on the other hand, many places come under observation where old “father time” had left his “imprint” in most indellible characters, and dilapidation and decay marked many a spot, which, only a few years ago, was full of life, bouyancy and happiness. Hurricane Shoals, as many who reads this article, have long since known, is on the north Oconee river, at a point where the road leading from Jefferson to Clarkesville crosses that stream ; and is, perhaps, one of the most valuable water-powers in this whole section. We learn that, from a survey by some of Prof. Little's corps, it has been fully estab lished that at the lowest stage of the water a “driving capacity” of nearly or quite four hundred horse-power can be obtained at these shoals. The Northeastern Railroad will run within about two miles of this point —the depot at Maysville being only two and a half miles distant. The location is sur rounded by some of as good lands as there are in the count}', and no point, North or South, offers superior inducements for the establishment and maintenance of a first class manufacturing village. Now, the writer did not set out on this Sabbath-day trip with the express intention of “writing up” the Hurricane Shoals, nor of saj'ing anything concerning water-power, ma chinery, &c.; but as these were brought to notice simply by the force of circumstances, we deem it not inappropriate to mention thus ly what came under observation. sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore's stand, Athens. For the Forest News. “UNCLE MIKE.” Mr. Editor : Did you ever sigh for the sweets of rural life ? Did you ever, amid the business scenes of the outer world—amid the cares and troubles, the turmoil and strife, the tumult and bustle and worry, incident to the great battle that is daily waged around us for existence—amid the exhausting toils, the oppressive fatigues to be met in the great thoroughfare of life—picture to yourself some sylvan retreat—some calm, tranquil spot, where peace and plenty and quiet content ment hold undisputed sway; where every view that meets the sight is beauty; where every sound that falls on the ear is melody ; where every moment that passes by brings with it otium cum rlignitute ? Such a place is Micager Williamson’s. You find “Uncle Mike,” as he is called, on account of a number pf nephews and neices by whom he is sometimes surrounded—al ways cheerful, always jovial—ready to draw upon his varied fund of anecdote and humor for the hilarity of those about him ; or to contribute from his store-house of knowledge for their greater facility and advancement in their several spheres. A dwelling furnished with every needful appliance of ease and comfort ; a table provided with the choicest and most savory dishes; a larder well stor ed with a rich profusion of household delica cies and substantial supplies; a dairy filled with the fruits of the milk-maid’s labors ; a smoke-house packed with an abundance of the sweetest and best cured meats; a fowl yard teeming with the finest and most healthy poultry and pigs; fields and pastures and forest range abounding in fat, well-fed cattle, sheep and swine ; these—all these, and many other sources of refreshment pay tribute to the cheer with which he delights to entertain his hosts of friends. Among the sources of pleasure to be found here, mention ought not to be omitted of a number of newspapers and periodicals, prominent among which is The Forest News. You would never imagine that the refined and elegant taste of woman had been want ing in the arrangements about this establish ment. But so it is. “ Uncle Mike” is a bachelor. Yet some of the finest ladies in the whole country, have, upon inspection, de clared his affairs to be handsomely “ fixed up.” Though in the full enjoyment of single blessedness, he is a great admirer of femaie excellence, and be extends a general cordial invitation to all the ladies to call and make suggestions. It might be most opportune for some lady if lie should adopt a suggestion to exchange that blessedness for the higher blessings which Hymen bestows. His resi dence is located on a tract of land where he was born, containing over six hundred acres, and a fine merchant mill. The place is al most entirely surrounded by Little Curry’s and Big Carry’s creeks and Oconee river, and is one of the most desirable places to be found. On one side extends the plantation over undulating plains, fertile glades and rich bottom land for half mile or more to the confluence of the creeks and thence to their junction with the river. On the other side stretches a most lovely grove—densely shad ed —fit habitation for the muses—descending by easy grades, two hundred yards to a beau tiful sheet of water—the mill pond—with its pretty little batteau, inviting to a pleasant ride and a cozy tete tete. I have extended this letter further than T intended. My apology is, that “ uncle Mike” is an institution of the country. In gener ous hospitality he is not surpassed by any of the once glorious, but now somewhat anti quated chivalry of the South. More than five' hundred persons have been known to partake of his hospitality in a single day. He is one of the public benefactors of the age. “Long may he wave !” Rusticus. Excellent Teas. The Original American Tea Company, of New York, of which Robt. Wells is President, was established in 1840, and since that time has been steadily gaining in favor, not only in the city of New York, but all over the country, until now teas reach every section. The leading press of the city and of hundreds of places in the country have endorsed it as perfectly reliable, and parties wish ing excellent teas at low prices, can with perfect confidence send to this company for them. Their teas are put up in one pound packages, with the kind and price printed on the wrappers; also, in boxes containing 5, 10, 20 and 30 pounds. They range in price from 40 cents to $1,30 per pound. Our merchants can have samples mailed to their address by enclosing 10 cents for each sample. The company wish reliable agents in every town to get up clubs amongst tjauupes fa*; their teas, and offer gr6at inducements. Send for our circu lar. Address always, Robt.
